An informative and emotionally involving portrait of an important subculture, Sound and Fury allows us a glimpse inside the world of the deaf community, while dealing with a controversial operation that some people in that community are resisting. Cochlear ear implants have allowed many deaf people to hear and learn to speak, but many in the deaf community who are happy with its supportive and nurturing atmosphere see the operation as a threat. The film focuses on the Artinian brothers -- Peter

Extremely well-made (and evenhanded).
Escorts us to a place we never knew existed, inviting us to observe familiar-looking people but see them through new eyes.
Powerful, insightful, important and emotionally wrenching.
An example of what the documentary can accomplish at its most vital and engaging.
The discourse that ensues over this issue is more entertaining, heartfelt, and insightful than what you'll find in any other film released in 2000.
It doesn't beg for your emotions or sympathies--only for your attention and patience.
A film of striking emotional immediacy.
You might feel the nerves of your soul tightening.
Intellectually absorbing and emotionally gripping, and it rather skillfully forces us to think about the 'blessings' of technology with a whole new kind of wariness.
This is not a film to watch passively.
Takes us into a world most of us never get much thought.
An illuminating, well-balanced portrait of a volatile, two-sided debate.
Very well balanced, and very emotional as well.
There is so much to be said about this documentary, but mostly I'm impressed by how frustrated, emotionally charged, exhausted, upset, and downright angry it could make me. Proof that decisions, no matter how logical they might seem, are always up for contention.

when it comes down to it, this documentary is about two sides of a family that have very different views on the subject. both views are expressed and given even coverage...and while i think both sides were overly critical of the others' decisions, i can't throw too much criticism myself, not ever having to deal with
